Hi gang I've just installed Python and happily found it to be very simple. I also noted the incredible speed difference between a 500 iceBook, a G4/400, and a G4/500.
Then it came time to install the mailman stuff. I downloaded 2.0.8 and unpacked it. I went to add the user and group of mailman...no problem. Then, it happened... ./configure --prefix=/Users/mailman basic configure file output leading up to... checking for mailman UID... ./configure: permission denied: conftest.py [1152] /usr/local/bin/python: can't open file 'conftest.py' cat: conftest.out: No such file or directory configure: error: ***** No "mailman" user found! ***** Your system must have a "mailman" user defined ***** (usually in your /etc/passwd file). Please see the INSTALL ***** file for details. I'm certain I have a user called mailman. I'm also certain there's a group called mailman, but it doesn't seem to have gotten far enough to tell if it's there. I know many of you have installed mailman...and I hope you can let me know what I did wrong and lead me to the path of enlightenment. =-) -Michael ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users
